Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Genomics and genetics in brain cancer treatment, diagonals and prognosis” highlights the function of modern genomic and genetic research in brain cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Brain cancer research has entered a new era, with the emergence of a wide variety of diagnosis and early detection tools, as well as treatments.
Genomics and genetics have played an important role in brain cancer prevention, treatment therapies, and diagnostic and prognostics. This Special Issue encourages all cancer research involving genomics and genetics, with a focus on applications in diagnosis, prognosis, early detection, and treatment. Novel statistical methodologies in genomics and genetics are also encouraged.
The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, brain cancer genetics (both population and molecular genetics), genomics, genetic epidemiology, and brain cancer clinical studies with genomics and genetics. All brain cancer types (such as glioma and glioblastoma multiform) will be considered.
